Faking your on-line ethics training

post by Bill Gardner

The research ethics training program I am completing makes me repeatedly affirm that I, myself, am the person reading the text and answering the quizzes. I infer that a significant number of academics are delegating these tasks to a secretary or research assistant.

If you have someone else impersonate you for your ethics training -- in other words, commit fraud to obtain your ethics certificate -- I'm not sure how much the training will benefit you.
